The paper titled “Cryptography on Untrustworthy Cloud Storage for Healthcare Applications: A Performance Analysis” was presented at the XI Brazilian Symposium on Computing Systems Engineering (SBESC).
At the conference, Lúcio Reis (AMC) presented the results of the paper that investigates Web Assembly and JavaScript solutions to enable client-side cryptography in web applications and compares their performance against server-side cryptography. The study was contextualised within two healthcare web applications: a prototype for patient record sharing during acute stroke care and an application for sharing data in sleep medicine treatment (Figure 1). The results showed that both architecture approaches have advantages and disadvantages, that should be evaluated per application/use case, to decide on the best fitting solution.

About SBESC
The Brazilian Symposium on Computing Systems Engineering (SBESC) is an initiative of the research community originally associated with the Real-Time Systems Workshop (WTR, since 1998), the Operating Systems Workshop (WSO, since 2004), the Embedded Systems Workshop (WSE, since 2009), and the Critical Embedded Systems Conference, acknowledging the strong synergy between these areas and the fact that the design of computing systems is an increasingly multidisciplinary task. The integration between these communities resulted in a major event in the field in Latin America, covering the main aspects of Computing Systems Engineering. The symposium is promoted by the Technical Committee on Computing Systems Engineering (CE-ESC) of the Brazilian Computer Society (SBC).
SBESC 2021 took place as an online event, from 22nd-26th November 2021.
